It's channels like yours that remind me: It doesn't matter what gear you have, because each person has their own sound. No matter what you play, your music will sound like your music. It's all about the player, not the instrument. You have such a wide array of gear, and you make everything work in your favor, no matter what it was meant for. You take a sampler meant for house music and you turn it into an ambient dreambox. It makes people like me, with minimal setups, more hopeful for our futures. Thanks. I love it.
While it may be true that everyone has their own sound, not everyone goes in search of it, and fewer still find it - it takes work! :) All credit to R Beny for being one of those few!
I was feeling worried about what kind of hear I should buy next. Then I saw his mishmash of gear made into this perfect chorus and I realized it’s all about what works for the sound you want, not which one is “better” or has more functions.
The cold dead silence when it ended hit me like ice water waking me from a dream. I didn’t realize how lost in thought I had become. This took me places. Thank you
As cool as modular synths may look, I don't really think people who use them often achieve a really interesting track with its sound. You, sir, create wonderful and unique pieces.
I am sure Brian Eno would be impressed by this. Please make a lot more and make it available to buy. I could live with this work at ambient level all day long.
if you're having a shitty morning,just replace your coffee with 10-20min of some gorgeous r beny tunes and you're set.feeling chilled, inspired and motivated now.
aww man, now I want to play minecraft. I swear, I'd just build me a little house and watch sunrise and sunset and listen to the music sometimes. hahaha.
At the moment, this video has 49,000 views. I am responsible for 48,864 of those views (the people responsible for the 136 comments must explain the remaining views). This is magical. I made a playlist with some of your videos, and I listen to them in so many different contexts. I started putting it on in the background when I studied and worked. I have serious anxiety and it helps calm me down, feel relaxed, and allows me to maintain motivation. I often have really bad anxiety at night (like so bad I have occasionally had panic attacks), and this helped me shut off my never ending night thoughts of dread - and it helped me fall asleep. I even started playing it when I write in my journal, bc the whole ambience is not only relaxing but also inspires reflection and introspection. And finally, sometimes I listen just to listen. These are masterpieces, your creations. This one in particular just blows me away. Every little plink and hum contributes to this gestalt river of auditory gold. I could listen to this one for hours on end - and I have, and will continue to do so lol. I subbed the first time I really listened to you, but I wish I could unsub just to sub to you again. Thanks for putting your art out there. The world is better for it.
thank you, i am glad you enjoy my music and that it can help with your anxiety. i have anxiety as well, and music is one of the few things that can me help get through it. i'm honored that my music does it for you. this comment made my day!
r beny I must’ve missed this entirely, but that’s wonderful that your music helps you and is such a positive force in your life. It definitely is for us (:
I saw the comment on here that was really disparaging. I know you don't know me, but I find your work beyond inspirational. I hope you'll never let anything like that get you down because you are pure gold R Beny.
thanks for the kind words. i just had to laugh that bad comment off. i'm happy that the comment sections on my videos are usually positive. i try to answer any questions and to interact whenever i can.
Amazing and cinematic! I see the module configuration changes a lot too. Ive been thinking of the voltage block varigate combo for a while as the main sequencer for a new case. Though this time I see its only voltage block
Hi rbeny :) You have been a big inspiration in my recent decision to get into Modular, so far it's going amazingly. Just a couple quick questions if you don't mind.. How are you running your Modular into your mixer? Are you just using a 3.5mm ts to 1/4 ts adapter? Also what is that interesting cv bus looking thing next to the Digitakt? I'm having a blast but sometimes the utility side of things can feel a bit defeating. Thank you!
i am using 3.5mm TRS to 1/4" TS adapters when running into my external mixer. i'm currently using the ones you can buy from control. and i believe you are talking about the cv.ocd? it's a midi to cv converter. 4 channels of cv and 12 channels of gates. very useful!
r beny and you are just running regular ts patch cables into those adapters? Interesting! And ya that sounds like a really useful device. I’ll have to rethink selling my Deluge, getting that could make it a very powerful modular sequencer. Decisions..
It does but it’s limited to 2 cv outputs/channels, but with that cv.ocd I could use midi as cv channels too making it a much better euro sequencer! (I think). A couple more things if you don’t mind.. How are you liking the er-301? What do you find you use it for mostly? I was thinking of looking into it later down the road for sampling, but it’s pricey and pretty big in a small rack and seems a bit confusing.. Also also, do you find the morphegene and Magneto play nicely together? They both look like such amazing and fun modules that I can’t decide which I want more. Maybe both is the answer..
Wonderful stuff as always Mr B. How do you achieve such organic timing with your sequencing, micro timing settings on the DT or is there other magic afoot? Also, what purpose is the ER-301 serving in this patch? Best wishes 👍
all depends on what sequencer i use. with dt, the micro timing settings help greatly. anything with a cv input, it's easy to run it with a "sloppy" clock. from what i recall, the 301 is being used to excite 1 of the rings (custom exciter unit i made) and as a simple mixer for mixing the plonks/rings together before they go to magneto. definitely only a tiny portion of what it can do.
r beny Can you achieve a “sloppy clock” felling on the Deluge using a very fine resolution on various tracks so that they don’t sound mechanical and locked into a step - so it basically sounds like a sequence without quantization? Thanks
It's channels like yours that remind me: It doesn't matter what gear you have, because each person has their own sound. No matter what you play, your music will sound like your music. It's all about the player, not the instrument. You have such a wide array of gear, and you make everything work in your favor, no matter what it was meant for.

So true
I was feeling worried about what kind of hear I should buy next. Then I saw his mishmash of gear made into this perfect chorus and I realized it’s all about what works for the sound you want, not which one is “better” or has more functions.
This track makes me envison someone in deep pain being showered with love and compassion. beautiful.
Thats kind of how I feel just maybe instead of love it's peace to me.
You are the king of plings and plongs.
HAINBACH
Yeah...I was flyin on Japan mountains!!!
And again TH-cam cued this up for me. Good algo, good.
@@Hainbach I like that two musicians I like, like each other. Somehow its affirming.
Epic.
The cold dead silence when it ended hit me like ice water waking me from a dream. I didn’t realize how lost in thought I had become. This took me places. Thank you
Everytime I can't come up with anything good in my DAW I come here! Your sound reminds me there are no limits! thanks bro!
This is one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard. this is what accenting to heaven sounds like
This is taking me back to the Golden Age of Electronic Music - Tangerine Dream, Klaus Shulze, Edgar Froese, Jean-Michele Jarre, Suzanne Ciani!
Nice work! Enjoyed that.
I love this! Rare to hear an “ambient” work that is compelling beyond the first :30 seconds! Great work man!
It's like a wind that blows through virtual modular harp playing cosmic patterns..
Healing music. It comforts my soul. Thank you.
very beautiful universe in which I like to walk around letting me guide you by your music
beautiful music and presentation with the whole setting beeing a still life.
Very wow, much flutter, many crinkle, such tape age!
And he's not even using MS GS Wavetable Synth!
As cool as modular synths may look, I don't really think people who use them often achieve a really interesting track with its sound. You, sir, create wonderful and unique pieces.
Alejandro Sandoval please check out James Bernard he’s at this level as r beny
Not looking in the right places :-)
gorgeous as always.
wonderful and emotional. Thank you!
Back for another listen and still sublime.....
This is SO good. Probably the best modular ambient track on youtube :)
Joy and bewildering beauty....
This is a really good trip. Thank you
Thank you! Thank you so much for your great music!
I am sure Brian Eno would be impressed by this. Please make a lot more and make it available to buy. I could live with this work at ambient level all day long.
Man this is sublime, needless to say, just listened to your latest offering, and this came on some time after ;-)
if you're having a shitty morning,just replace your coffee with 10-20min of some gorgeous r beny tunes and you're set.feeling chilled, inspired and motivated now.
Actually coffee with r beny is life....
Beautiful harmonies and layers, thank you
This is properly gorgeous, reminds me of Bibio.
lovely
Totally stunning
man, you rly have it right with the vibez. all day, friend.
Amazing, makes me want to play on my eurorack asap
Cool set up!
Incredible
This sounds really good.
I love this! Reminds me of Aphex Twin's chill ambient stuff.
Yes! exactly that same beautiful, calm, endless vibe
been following you on insta for years and just now found this youtube channel..... im in heaven
So beautiful.👌
This is truly magical... Thank you Beny! I could listen to it for the whole day (in fact I am haha)
Great soundscapes, nice ambient track!🖖☺️
Oh yes bro!! This is great. Can’t wait to have a play with the Magneto.
This is beautiful.
100% on board with this
beautiful, thank you.
Sound road to heaven !
Beautiful
wonderful work !!
stunning....
nice
beautiful
Beautiful!
Excellent work sir! As usual you've got a very good feel for generative modular ambient.
Beautiful, as always!
those are some nice paintings
miss those, had to say goodbye to them when I moved from that place.
Bello beautifull ambient
Beautiful!😊
very minecraftish - i love it!
aww man, now I want to play minecraft. I swear, I'd just build me a little house and watch sunrise and sunset and listen to the music sometimes. hahaha.

stunning
Awesome. As always.
What a beautiful set up, & amazing sound. I'm becoming a fan TH-cam dude, not gonna lie..
Utterly sublime.
Amazing! Waiting for those patch notes!!
Gorgeous
Love the stringy sounds. Thought it was the peak, but it’s not used in this video
Adnan Alsannaa those stringy sounds are the plonk. will do more peak videos soon
I saw the comment on here that was really disparaging. I know you don't know me, but I find your work beyond inspirational. I hope you'll never let anything like that get you down because you are pure gold R Beny.

@@rbeny I hear ya :) I'm surprised that someone would go to a channel full of chill and toss in a drama bomb; lame.
Amazing and cinematic! I see the module configuration changes a lot too. Ive been thinking of the voltage block varigate combo for a while as the main sequencer for a new case. Though this time I see its only voltage block
Rosetta Stoned yeah going through a bit of a studio change :) the V8 was great, but just too big for how much I was using it.
perfect sunday music:)
Holy jesus that's lush
very pretty
I long to make something this beautiful
Hope you are well, sir. I love your sound portraitures.
THEE MAGNETIC MAGIC OF R BENY
Wow lovely
Really lovely 😻
Is it possible for that rig to not make beautiful music? Excellent module selection... two rings? Two plonks? Smart man.
love it
Just wow
hmm, I'm starting to fall in love with that magneto
2 years in and I like it even more now than when it came out
wish all my videos sounded like this 🙌
this is wonderful
I´m starting to think it´s about time, that I try to dip my toes in the sea of modular synth. Now I just want to jump straight in... :-)
the magnetic sea, perhaps?
@@rbeny Watch your gyro compass then! ;)
The early 80's called, they want their music back, can I go with it too?
Very nice, i have my Peak nest to my cases too.
pfff wow this is really good!
maravilloso
Feels good
another beauty (y)
Wow - got lost in that one...
When I 1st saw the Magneto demos I thought it was a module for you, I was not mistaken :)
Yann Guillermou i felt the same way. I did have El cap but this takes it to the next level
I was planning to get El Capistan and a DLD!
Whoa.
¨The sadness will never end¨ and aren´t we blessed?
Perfection up to 6:02. Thanks!
AHHHH!!! S O G O O D
Seriously, do you have anything up on Spotify?
This is just magnificent!
yes. search 'r beny'
yes
Absolutely beautiful. Which module is making the random melodic patterns? I *love* this.
It's a mixture of Clouds and Magneto
Excuse me, Ben. What does it sounds like with 4xRings and 4xPlonks for dinner?
The resulting experiment would result in a cataclysmic resonation of the universe
David Knight Did you just name my next album?
Ask and ye shall receive...

all depends on what sequencer i use. with dt, the micro timing settings help greatly. anything with a cv input, it's easy to run it with a "sloppy" clock.
